But does Shaggy from Scooby-Doo have one?

And, if he does, is it sinister enough to rank him among the brutal, bone-crunching

heathens of Mortal Kombat 11?

The creators and supporters of a Change.org petition seem to think so.

And now that the petition's picked up steam, none other than Mortal Kombat 11 director

Ed Boon has issued a response.

"Zoinks!”

"Let me know how that works out for you …" Boon tweeted at another Twitter user, seemingly

pouring water on the possibility that Shaggy could join the MK11 roster.

But Boon didn't let the request go without being a good sport about it, later tweeting

an image of a sinister-looking Shaggy with an otherworldly glow.

To most of you, this whole situation must seem entirely random.

Why would a bunch of people suddenly want Shaggy — a bumbling, unintimidating fool

— to become part of a gruesome fighting game like Mortal Kombat 11?

The answer, it appears, can be traced back to a year-old internet meme called Ultra Instinct

Shaggy.

The meme resurfaced this month, making the rounds on Reddit and Instagram as users created

new images to pay homage to a more powerful Shaggy.

"This can go two ways, punk.

One: You walk away.

Two: I walk on your face."

According to Know Your Meme, a website called Woken News posted the Change.org petition

that eventually caught Ed Boon's attention.

Yup — sometimes, the internet's alright.

That petition, by the way, now has close to 173,000 supporters signed on.

And it's quickly climbing toward the petition goal of 200,000, adding new supporters by

the minute.

There's really no explanation for what caused the Ultra Instinct Shaggy meme to make a reappearance.

Sometimes when it comes to the internet, what's old can be new again.

And thanks to the instantaneous nature of communication online, old ideas can get a

refresh very quickly.

We do know that the meme gave birth to a successor in the form of Shaggy's Power, and that some

are also using that meme for inspiration as they rally around Shaggy's inclusion in Mortal

Kombat 11.

But it seems based on Ed Boon's response that we won't be seeing Shaggy pop up in Mortal

Kombat 11 anytime soon — or at all.

And frankly, it's probably better that way.

The little bit of comedy found in the Mortal Kombat series often comes from over-the-top

fatalities, not from the sort of slapstick humor Shaggy's known for.

And aside from his ability to run through impossibly connected hallway doors — and

somehow fit his mouth around those thick-ass sandwiches — Shaggy doesn't have much of

a move set to speak of.

That's the bad news.

But hey! — the good news is that, aside from this whole Shaggy debacle, Mortal Kombat

11 look to be shaping up pretty well.

Push Square is reporting that there are 11 confirmed characters for MK11 so far, including

Baraka, Geras, Raiden, Scorpion, Skarlet, Sonya Blade, Sub-Zero, and Shao Khan — a

pre-order bonus.

And we don't know if you caught the news about Sonya Blade, but she'll be voiced by former

UFC champion Ronda Rousey.

"Yeah, it's been a great experience being Sonya Blade."

We've seen plenty of footage of Mortal Kombat 11, including a healthy dose of the game's

fatalities.

The game reportedly features the "biggest story yet" of any Mortal Kombat game ever.

And perhaps the best news of all, Mortal Kombat 11 will be launching the same day across four

platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and yes, Nintendo Switch.

Yup, it's coming to the mostly family-friendly Switch — blood, guts, and all.

You can look forward to picking up Mortal Kombat 11 when it arrives on April 23.

No, you probably won't be able to play as Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.

And no, you probably won't get any other ridiculous characters into the game by starting an online

petition.

But Mortal Kombat 11 definitely looks like a fine entry to the series, and we look forward

to jumping in and checking it out when it arrives in a few months.

"Man, you are one crazy beatnik.

I promise I won't kill you too bad."
